The CSO typically represents physical security. The CISO typically
represents non-physical security.
Which is subordinate to the other?
Many organizations defer the question. They see the two as separate
regardless of the evidence. Perhaps it's because of the easily
understood physical versus the harder to grasp non-physical.
My opinion for most organizations is that the CSO is subordinate to the
CISO. The ratio used to go the other way. Physical security is
important. It can't be diminished. Yet Information Security &
CyberSecurity ascends. Appreciating and dealing with physical security
is a part of Information/Cyber Security.
